Victoria's Racing Appeals & Disciplinary Board chairman Judge Russell Lewis heard a day of final submissions from counsel for the stewards and the father/son combination after denying a stewards' request to amend the charge and one from the Karakatsanis camp to have the charges dismissed.

Karakatsanis and his father, Tony, face a combined five charges centring on the allegation they were conspiring to administer raceday treatment to Howmuchdoyouloveme at Flemington on November 9 before he ran in the Yellowglen Stakes.
